I Built The Ultimate Backyard MTB Trail!

Check out @cutlaps ride the new feature! kzbin.info/www/bejne/pHyydoewqJ1jnpY

[@cutlaps]

I don't thnk it could have turned out any better!

[@667SatansNeighbor]

That section should be called the "Coil", because it lines up with a snake... It's called "Snake Run", right?... Then that new section should be called the "Snake Coil". Just saying.

[@mikek9297]

@@667SatansNeighbor Or a "Slingshot", cause it uses centrifugal force to launch a rider like a projectile...

Very cool! Thanks for the opportunity to show off my trail! I have a lot of fun out there building and riding it. 🤟

[@bikesonline]

Anytime!!! Keen to one day get down there and see the epicness in person!

[@cutlaps]

@@bikesonline For sure!

[@Jusdin057]

Yes Luke. Great work mate. I am so glad you didnt ride the corkscrew but a little sad also. 🤙 I cannot wait to see it unveiled on your channel. And you looked pretty good riding that Marin.

[@cutlaps]

@@Jusdin057 thanks mate! I was actually planning on riding the corkscrew (or what ever it ends up being called) for this video because I had planned for the build edit to be finished long before this one. But rain has sadly delayed. I have since given it a test ride and I gotta say it is awesome!!! And yeah I am really loving the Marin. I feel a bit better on jumps. I think it's a bit shorter than my Norco so I get a better pop. I haven't taken it down any chunky stuff though. If it ever stops raining I'll get it out into some rock gardens.

[@mattspen]

@@cutlaps sounds like you need a (optional?) rock garden line on your trail

[@chris.s1678]

My favourite bit is all the natural features and resources being repurposed rather than just completely trashed and throw away. Such a cool build, been awesome watching it all come together.

[@cutlaps]

Cheers Chris! We have had some really wet weather and strong winds lately which has brought down some big trees. It feels good to be able to give them new life as a MTB feature. Thanks for watching.

[@JohnEFly]

This video is incredible! The production quality of it is off the charts! It's extremely interesting. I love how you are able to show how you take advantage of these trees that have fallen in nature to make them fun while also helping to clean up. You're not destroying the forest, you're just maintaining and beautifying it, while also having fun. Awesome work!

[@cutlaps]

Thanks John! I'm really stoked you found it so interesting. It's so nice to be able to spend my free time out in the forest getting creative. And we have plenty of large trees that have fallen over and need to be cleaned up, so you can expect even more fun wooden features in the future. Thanks for watching.

[@bikesonline]

Thanks for showing us your trails Luke! We thing the eddy or dust devil for the new feature!

[@cutlaps]

Cheers guys! I like the Dust Devil but its more muddy than dusty with all this rain at the moment! 😂

[@michaelharwood5280]

Insane! I don't know what I love more: riding this trial or watching your vids. Both are incredible!

[@cutlaps]

So good riding and building the trail with you. Need to get you back when it's not raining.

[@austrailalanmtb7557]

Pretty sick trail mate! Such a good spot. Plenty of area and angle.

[@GreenpeaThe_Rat]

11:05 360 death fall/trust fall, since new people might look at that and be like ‘nah mate’ +me😂

[@paddydoddy7398]

Twisted sister! Is the perfect name dude, awesome video, super naturally talented bloke you are!

[@cutlaps]

Thanks mate! I love the name. It just reminded me that I haven't listened to Twisted Sister for ages. Cranking them on Spotify now.

[@antr7493]

I wish i had a backyard that big. Nice job.

[@bikesonline]

We do too! Haha!

[@Behine.DeChilis]

Great segment. I remember racing the bump a couple n grind in the late '90s, floating this section these, only two flat in the following downhill section. There was a loose piece of that shale rock that punctured my front tire. Humbling to make it through blood rock well only to be taken out by a flat, straight section. Great trails!

[@bikesonline]

Thanks for sharing!!

[@alexhedquist]

That last feature is a “Kreisel” {cry-sel} German for gyro. It is the name of a turn found on some bobsleigh, luge, and skeleton tracks around the world. It is a single continuous curve which turns far enough around that the track must go under itself on the exit of the curve.

[@mtbing666]

Call the new feature “The Twisty”. Keep up the sic work!

[@cutlaps]

Now I'm craving a pack of Twisties! Thanks for watching.

[@deividas_kimontas]

Awesome building! 💪 Have fun out there! 👌😝

[@cutlaps]

Cheers! It's so much fun, and I have so many more trails planned, this is only the beginning. Thanks for watching.

Thanks Luke! I am extremely stoked. And I can't wait to do another top to bottom video in a few months when the full trail is finished. I have some big plans for that bottom section. Thanks for watching!

Just found this guys channel earlier this week he's rad, love the insight as someone new to the Australian trail building industry.

[@cutlaps]

Thats cool you found my channel earlier this week. I try to share as much info as I can while I'm out there learning. Cheers for watching.

[@squishedgrape]

@@cutlaps Thanks for the top notch vids mate 👍

[@joecasalena8263]

Super video! I’ve been building trails on my 110 acres here in Pa for a few years here. I did this same thing here with chicken ramps/bridges… but I’m not allowed to remove them because some of my some of friends never can clear the gap! Hoping to build a pump track but I need to find out the optimal geometry. That 270 berm is so creative!

[@cutlaps]

Hey Joe! Thanks for watching. Sounds like you have a pretty fun backyard as well. I build my chicken bridges so they can easily be removed without any screws. So depending on who's riding the trail its easy to put them back in place. A pump track would be cool! I owuldn't mind building one as well. And you're right there is very specific geometry needed to make them work well. I have seen some pretty useful guides to building optimal rollers on google.

[@DARRENTRANCE]

What an epic back yrd 👌. Done an awesome job building it up with the features you added and done a tastefully job of it.

[@LivePastHealthy]

Wow amazing work, we need more people like you out there.

Amazing that is your trail. Your new feature maybe call it the (VOLSHOOT) A volute is a shape that can in natural a lot in ferns all sorts, but also inside pumps that’s the pattern. Also old buildings is something come across a lot (I do masonry). Soon as saw your feature thought that. Nice one go steady Sam

Maaate what an absolutely outstanding trail... you are trail talented... if I had land you would be my first call.. well done mate.. absolutely love it

Dude that is awesome to hear! Thank you. Stoked you enjoyed my video and trail. Still a lot more to build and plenty of room for more trails.

[@Henri688]

Really cool! it looks absolutely insane I got inspiration to start building a mtb track after riding my schools one.

[@Froff]

What a colab with the best trail building channel around. And that new feature looks sooooo good. The Taipan twister?

[@cutlaps]

Ooooh nice one... keeping the snake theme going! Are you going to be able to ride the trail with your new found fear of snakes?

[@bikesonline]

The snake theme is good! There is a curl snake and a bandy bandy, which might fit too!

[@Froff]

@@cutlaps haha I’ll get over it mate.

[@mattspen]

Curl Drop

[@leonanstett6887]

I love the stomp jump

[@roguemonkeyproductions1098]

With the trail being called Snake Run, your new feature needs to be called "The Coil". Or "Ready to Strike".

Oh true! It does look like a snake curled up ready to strike. I'll add them to the list to choose from. Thank you

Ooooh I just had to have a google of Theodorus and lots of images of his spiral came up that looks just like this! He could have been a great trail builder if mountain bikes had been invented haha.
